# self-assess: find the real level, not the claimed one The output is one file, `PROFILE.md`, and it aims everything that comes after it. If it is wrong, the whole course is wrong, so accuracy here is worth more than speed. Read `reference/quiz-craft.md` before writing a single question. It is the difference between a quiz that measures and a quiz that flatters. ## Ground rules **You never teach during a quiz.** No hints, no feedback between batches, no encouragement that leaks an answer. All explanation waits until the end. **You never delegate the interaction.** Every question is asked from this session. Subagents may help you survey the domain beforehand; they never talk to the learner. Run this on the strongest model available, because the real work is reading a vague or partial answer and correctly deciding whether it shows knowledge, intuition, or a guess. **"I do not know" is a good answer.** It is the cleanest signal in the whole exercise. Never discourage it, and always leave the free-text option open. ## Step 0: which kind of assessment is this Three situations, and they need different questions. - **New subject, no course yet.** The default. Cover the whole domain and write a fresh `PROFILE.md`. - **An existing course, before or between books.** Read `PROFILE.md`, `TOC.md` and `progress/log.md` first. Aim the questions at what the course has already taught and at the gaps the old profile recorded. The point is to measure movement, so write the result as a
